Curious on why you think this? He has already beat 2 returning All-Americans, and had a close comeback loss to the #4 ranked kid. This is the first "bad" loss he had, and was leading going into the 3rd. Not saying he will definitely All-American, but since he was 141 right before the season started, he should be getting better as the year goes on and he grows more into his weight.

Obviously he didn't hear the message Jim Gibbons send out over the telecast about 2 seconds before the first throw happened. Reminded me of the Blair coaching yelling "watch out" before the mixer/twister by Martinez - 8 years ago this month....

Hayes will be fine. I can pretty much guarantee he won't lose that position to DeLuca again. And against the rest of the field he's more than shown he's an AA caliber kid. Fluke!

Agree. He's lost two matches this year, beaten numerous ranked kids. Both his matches were lost on 6 point moves (I think), the last match needing two of them. In this match he appeared winded after fighting off his back. I think he bounce back and still think he's capable of placing 3rd or 4th. He will fall in the rankings somewhat (maybe a couple of spots) as will Campbell.
